Any watch brand recommendations or favorites? I used to like Casio since they were cheap and reliable but I got tired of the bands always snapping so I opted for a little better quality. Currently for my next watch I'm looking at ESQ Swiss or Fossil.

I like analog watches, with leather straps. Metal straps always pulls my arm hair. I dont like
gold watches either. Silver ftw.

There is a fine line between exentric and creepy.

Stfu, you dont own an omega watch and neither will you ever. Anybody that spends that much on a watch are very silly.

i would say Police watches are great quality for the money. Then again i wear oversized watches. TNsteel and the like, but police aswell. I have a black one thats pretty awesome.

an omega in the whole watch community is not THAT expensive, i think they start at about £700 or something like that, and just for the record i have an Omega seamaster that i recieved as a present from the entirety of my family for getting into university.

Google Tokyoflash. They have alot of nonconventional watches that are pretty cool.

Fossil is good for the price. So is Eddie Bauer. I've had mine for almost 10 years and it still works perfectly.

As for Swiss watches, Tissot is good. On the higher end, Rado is a really stylish brand that I just discovered.

Omega and Rolex are old man watches.

Tokyoflash is awesome.

Depends on what kind of look you have. They're not for most regular people.

But Omega and Rolex really should be worn only by older men. Just like how white pearls and jade can only be worn by old ladies.

I love my Tissot. Had my PRS200 for about 4 years now and it's running fantastically.

Same here. I love Casio, I got this Casio Illuminator, bought it for 20 euro. But about every 2-3 years the band breaks. I don't mind though, the battery never dies and like you said...reliable.

My current one is perfectly good enough for me, came free with a suit. Its nothing special, but it tells the time, looks pretty shiny and doesn't tick loudly.

Sorry about the quality of the shot, laziness took over. Taking a macro with a hand held with your left hand is kinda hard.

Or Asian guys.

I wear this:

She's probably the cheapest Armani watch on the market (found it at independent retailers for about $160), but I got it for free, so meh.

I own maybe two dozen watches, mostlycheapies like Timex, except fot the gold Seiko I inherited.

Lately I've mostly been wearing a Casio wave-ceptor--steel band, blue face, goes well with jeans.
